For quite some time, I was never aware that the MC28SE and MC28SP forks were significantly different to each other, however the SP forks are a different design, and are better than the SE forks. They will most certainly (once refreshed) be the easiest upgrade for your MC28SE.

I personally would also expect an MC28SP setup to out-perform an RVF400 USD setup. The NSR's I've ridden with RVF forks just do not inspire confidence, although some other forum members have had success with them. I think an RVF swap is far from a case of just simply bolting them on though.

Regardless of how well you do the conversion though, you will always compromise the steering with any USD fork conversion. I run HRC RS250 USD forks on my MC21SE, and they are absolutely superb, but my steering lock is abysmal! I am prepared to suffer that, given the wonderful suspension I have now!
